That should work. If you check out and recheck into the same hotel that should also count.

Thanks. That would be easier, but I do not know if it is worth the extra $40 a night...

Why is it extra $40? And besides, it's definitely worth it, given all the points you get.

The original hotel I wanted to stay at is 89 a night whereas the hotel I wanted to book in the middle was 128. If I stay at the 128 for all three nights then I am paying another ~40 a night. I wanted the 128 because its near some local attractions. But maybe I could do 89 for first two nights and then 128 for the last night.

I was thinking about using my free night in LA over President's weekend in February. Any suggestions?

what does it mean when it says
Quote
šAn eligible stay is one or more consecutive nights paying a qualifying rate in the same hotel, regardless of the number of check-ins or checkouts
can I also use this with the 35% off stay for SPG members? or I won't qualify for the free night?

I just tried 5 SPG accounts
the Results were
2x "2k up to 6k"
1 "4k up to 12k"
1 "Free night up to cat 6"
1 "You're not eligible for this offer"
All till Febuary 28th
I'm not really gonna use any but I was just checking

similar...except 2 "not eligible" and 1 "2k"

or is that not considered a qualifying rate?

I booked 3 different stays (consecutive days) and was suppose to get 4k for each stay. I only got 4k for one stay right after I checked out. Should I call or is it usual for it to take a couple of weeks to post?

Weekend Stay= SPG New Beginnings
14k Pts- about 1k for the stay itself, 1k for Le mEridien 1k bonus for first stay and 12k for compensation for dirty bathroom upon arrival
